The month of December,2024 marks the 50Th Anniversary month of your marriage ! A long journey with the proverbial ‘ups and downs’ interspersed with beautiful moments and landmarks that can now suitably be titled ‘The Tale of Two Debonair Duttas’ – Devashish & Shibani ! Married young, five decades ago, you’ve remained resolute in togetherness and mutual respect emulating many of the brave earlier generations and could traverse happily with elan through four momentous decades, the 1980s & 1990s and first two of this 21st Century, before nearly half of the present populace was even born. Like old wine, you’ve grown sweeter with the years.
Had you been celebrities from film & fashion world of glitz and glamour, the local paparazzi would have lined up for your saga of love and devotion that’s stood the test of time, your favourite do’s, places and people and inanities like- did you ever have breakfast in bed on a Sunday ? However, we, your fans and lifetime friends who know your sterling virtues, will never stop cheering for you ! If there’s anything spectacular to report, other than faith and fortitude, it’s you with your ‘world view’ of things ! With stays in fascinating port cities and extensive travels across continents (We’ve all read that Vasco de Gama did it with some degree of difficulty), what rich experiences were gained & lessons learnt with cultural diversity. What’s endearing has been your shared love for literature, reading, music, songs and travel to far off exotic places that got revived more when Sapanda decided to retire. Alongside these escapades was the great progress being made by the beautiful & illustrious ‘Dutta family’ ! In the last two years or so Rinku, Raja & Ankita left their parents & entire Sinha family ecstatic by introducing two cherubic little ones, Taju and Lily like pink icing on cakes !
The Sinha family folks love to quote when it comes to matters of romance – It’s said ‘In marriage, you fall in love many times but always with the same person’ and you are best examples and role models for the ‘Shaadi-shuda’ ! Many Congrats on achieving milestone ‘Golden’- now for the ‘Diamond’ one !
Lots of love and wishes from Sanju & Tandra
